Differential cross section measurements of the 12C(d,p1,2,3)13C reactions in the energy range Ed,lab = 900–2000 keV for nuclear reaction analysis

Abstract Absolute differential cross section measurements of the 12 C(d,p 1,2,3 ) 13 C reactions were performed in the projectile energy region E d,lab  = 900–2000 keV (in steps of 25 keV) and for detector angles between 145° and 170° (in steps of 5°) using as targets 99.9% purity self-supported natural carbon (98.9% 12 C–1.1% 13 C) foils of nominal thickness ca. 1 × 10 18  at/cm 2 . The overall error in the absolute differential cross section measurements varied around 10–15% in most of the cases. The results, presented in both graphical and tabular forms, are compared with already published data. The strong influence of the resonance mechanism is presented and discussed.
